Sunny Deol, who recently soared at the box office with Jaat and amassed over 500 crore with Gadar 2, is now in talks for an OTT debut with Netflix.
PeepingMoon exclusively reported that the superstar is in negotiations with Netflix India for a high-budget action thriller produced by Suparn Varma, famously known for directing ‘The Family Man Season 2’ and ‘Rana Naidu.’

While the director is yet to be finalized, the project is already anticipated to be a high-octane action thriller, a perfect alignment for Sunny Deol’s action-hero persona.
An OTT debut might seem like a downgrade for a massy, theatrical heavyweight like Sunny Deol, but the shift to streaming isn’t a fall— it’s a strategy.

This shift signifies a strategic expansion. Big stars can reach new audiences and exercise their creativity in OTT without feeling obligated to perform at the box office.
It is more of an opportunity for growth for Sunny, who already has major theater releases lined up, including Ramayana, Lahore 1947, and Border 2.
Rather than being a downgrade, Sunny’s Netflix debut may be seen as a calculated move that will introduce his legacy to younger, binge-hungry audiences.
Viewers can experience the thrill of seeing their favorite action hero in a digital-first story if this project gets finalized and is executed successfully, making it one of the largest OTT launches for an A-list Bollywood star.
